The Atlantis Grail is a four-book young adult science fiction series published between 2014 and 2020. The premise combines a doomsday scenario with a competition narrative: an asteroid is headed for Earth, and an alien race descended from ancient Atlantis offers to save those humans who can pass their qualification exams.
Qualify (2014) introduces Gwen Lark, an unremarkable teenager who enters the trials alongside millions of desperate young people. Compete (2015), Win (2017), and Survive (2020) follow her through increasingly dangerous stages of the competition. The series blends science fiction worldbuilding with the high-stakes personal drama of a protagonist who refuses to give up despite being underestimated at every turn. The Atlantis Grail has developed a dedicated fanbase and spawned several spinoff projects.
